7ONDER, the noisy water . . . takes a white leap from one of the loveliest and loneliest nooks carved from the mountain, before it splashes on the busy wheel of the manufacturers, and after being used three or four times in its passage through the village, mingles with the waters of the Lackawanna below. . . .the landscape sprinkled with brown colored dep6ts, car-shops, and Vulcan's works upon every side; . . . on their passage to New York; . . . the chaste, imposing churches, the long, white lines of public and private architecture contrasting finely with the deep green of the surrounding trees, tastily left for shade; . . . the trains of coal-cars, serpentine and dark, emerging from the Diamond Mines, . . . the villages of Hyde Park, Providence, Dunmore and half a dozen little rosy buds of villages, standing like sentinels at the outposts about to be surrendered; . . . the neat farm-houses here and there nestling in some lovely meadow or half hid among the blossoms of orchards, and the background of the unshorn mountain swelling upwards from . . . the Lackawanna region, all make up a [most impressive] sight. . .. Nor is this all, as he looks into the bosom of Capouse Meadow, his eye wanders over coal lands which, fifteen years before the completion of a railroad outlet north from the valley, could be purchased for fifteen dollars per acre, and which now are worth $800; and lots which then no respectable man was willing to accept as a gratuity, now readily bring from one to two thousand dollars!1
